Subject: [XCON] Charter

The issue is primarily one of keeping a well-defined
scope. The more we add, the less likely we are to
produce solid protocols in a reasonable time frame.

The linkage between the protocols that are listed
in the proposed charter is very tight. Related
applications, such as voting, lack this tight
linkage. Consequently, they can be added to systems
based on the proposed working group items by other
working groups or standards bodies without requiring
support from XCON.
